I would fall from grace just to touch your face
The Nightshade snorts, "Don't try to downplay it." Maeve doesn't hesitate to take his hand, finding the connection more comforting than anything even with the knowledge that he can feel all of the emotions swirling inside her. It's lighter than the last few encounters. Bright spots of happiness, acceptance for her situation, and love all mix in a wash of sunset colors for the Lullaby to enjoy.
Maeve laughs, shaking her head at him as she slips closer to him in the water, "I don't think that Ronin has any real interest in me, love." Though, she wouldn't be upset if he did. How many could say that they had the chance to sleep with both of the demigods? Maeve sighs at his question, wilting like a long forgotten flower in his grasp. "Done. Forever. It was naïve of me to believe it would last. I thought when he came back..." She trails off, thin shoulders lifting in a delicate shrug as her lips purse.
His joking draws her back and a smile curls at her lips. Maeve slips an arm around his neck, using it to balance herself, letting him keep both of them afloat. "You told me some good things before. Everything you said about Locke? All the advice there? I would have been better off listening to you from the start." Perhaps if she had done that, had gotten rid of Nate, kept a tighter hold on Sunjata... Maybe things would have been much different for her. For all of them.
